I have started looking at the errata documentation and usually the first thing I check is how to report issues

  • The fact that you can click on the Support button on the main page is clear enough (even without reading the documentation). You may want to use something shorter than "ES-DOC :: SUPPORT :: ERRATA (v0.7.0.0)" for the automatically generated subject. Unless you don't want the user to add something else on the subject line

  • You may want to update the content of the FAQ and Credits. The link to this github issue page is in Contact, but should probably (also) be in the FAQ. Besides the added github link, The FAQ could probably be clarified a bit:

  1. Instead of having just How to report an issue? you could have How to report an issue about data distributed on ESGF? , How to report an issue about the errata web site? and How to report an issue about the errata documentation?

  2. "If you are part of a climate modeling group dstributing data ..." => "If you are a member of... dIstributing the data... report the problem to". It would be nice if ES-DOC officer was a link to a page with the list of ES-DOC officers. Same thing for Data Provider/Manager and ESGF Data Node Manager

  3. "Send an email to corresponding" => "If you are not a member of the the climate modelling group that has produced the data files that you think are incorrect or suspicious, send an email to the contact address specified in the the netCDF contact global attribute. Example global attribute for the files generated at IPSL:"

  4. I'm not exactly sure in which case a mail should be sent to the ESGF User mailing list
